Can we have a GW2 thread?

For how long you've been playing?
Do you feel the game is getting stale and dead again?
Was HoT the expansion you wanted, or was it a disappointment?

Don't play it any more. It will probably start heavily declining in players some time early-mid 2017 if they don't pull some actual content out of their asses soon. New maps with some small shitty gimmicks along with overpriced skins aren't going to sate the community anymore (apart from reddit bottom feeders) that the GW2 devs seem to think is the core audience now.

HoT content-wise is essentially grinding AB over and over because the rewards for everything else is so fucking lame

I still play, but not a ton. Just do raids once a week with my guild and dailies if I'm not busy doing something else. And I always hop on to do the new updates, but it usually only takes a couple days max to get all the achievements and stuff.

I do stilll like the game, but between HoT being underwhelming and the content being relatively slow to come out, it's lost a lot of its appeal for me. It also doesn't help that I've done just about everything there is to do many times over. Still looking forward to the next expansion announcement and all that, I just don't play like I used to.

For about 3 years
Yes it is, they need to add new content that isn't so short and isn't just a meaningless zone with nothing you really want to do. Insane grinds are not fun.

HoT was a great expansion and I played the fuck out of it for a year. But it's been y'know a year, kind of bored of it now.

Still way too much fucking grind. ANET NOT FUCKING EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE 250 STACKS STOP IT.

Also monsters still don't drop dick for loot. Why?

I've been taking a break from GW2 and playing other games and WoW.

Had a level 50 something necromancer but didn't like it. Been remaking a bit and am now a level 31 mesmer, however I find the game really bland and boring so I don't really feel like playing it at all.
Helped the guild with gathering some snow for snow piles for the guild hall though.

>Can we have a GW2 thread?
no
>For how long you've been playing?
since launch
>Do you feel the game is getting stale and dead again?
the game was never alive past launch hype
>Was HoT the expansion you wanted, or was it a disappointment?
no it was a piece of shit and can't wait to see arenanet crash and burn togheter with ncsoft for shitting on the guild wars IP with this SJW turd

Stopped playing shortly before the expansion (after ~ 1400 hours playtime). What they showed before didnt seem promising so I didn't buy it. Never picked it up again afterwards.

The developers are all beyond fucking retarded. In every department really. WvW completely fucking boring, PvP unbalanced and they didn't bother to add any new dungeons after the fractals (which were actually great fun when they were released).I don't want to be the "muh SJW" guy, but the lesbian homo shit all the time in the story way annoying as fuck as well.

But what really made me drop the game and hate Anet is their gemshop crap. They endgame is literally 100% about glamour, since you can't really grind for stats. The wardrobe was a good update for that, but then they started with the fucking armor sets instead of each piece for itself. 0 good stuff outside of the gem shop, and even that is useless if you can't mix it up. And they had NO excuse except "lol we're to lazy to bother with clipping so we just release outfits now!"
And they STILL HAD CLIPPING EVERYWHERE.

I've seen some anons talk about the expansion being good and all, but I have lost all faith in Anet. Maybe I'll check it out once it goes free.

>SJW

>But what really made me drop the game and hate Anet is their gemshop crap.

This. They've gone so fucking jew mode with Gemstore it's like that's all they bother with now. Sometimes there's hardly any good content or patches for over 2 months but you can bet there's been like 50+ updates to the Gemstore with a bunch of shitty skins, pets, gliders, wings and other useless cosmetic trash

The worst part about these lazy cunts is that most of it isn't even new, just recycled cosmetics from throughout the months/years. The "Limited Edition" And "Only available for 7 days" lying bullshit is meaningless now because they'll just sell the exact same thing a few months later.

i only log on for daily reward now desu

got 3 months worth piled up on a character dunno what to do with them

No. We can't fuck your SJW shit game. More soon.

The game has never been "SJW"-y, but Sup Forums needs its boogeyman like a safety blanket.

What is fucking obnoxious is MUH E-SPORTS which is literally shoved in your face like anyone besides the worst autists imaginable gives a shit.

Played like 2600 hours from launch to somewhere. Mainly WvW. Did they totally merge servers yet?

Didn't buy the expansion because it looked just that good.

>getting triggered by a lesbian salad

I fucking hate this dogshit mmo with a burning passion rekinlded every time I see it. Fuck Gw2 and fuck Nu-Anet.

...

I just want it to die. I cannot contain the amount of anger I have and explode into a sperg rage any time this jewcrap comes up or Rift. Dont get me started on Rift. Still can't figure out what hurts more.

I've watched you sperg out on Sup Forums for so long and it never stops being funny.

>For how long you've been playing?
Had the game since launch, probably about a month total worth of game time? I played it a fair bit around launch and came back every now and then when they actually added real content instead of living world shit.
>Do you feel the game is getting stale and dead again?
I didn't buy the expansion because making the base game free then trying to charge me full price for the expansion burned me a bit. Waiting for it to go on sale for $15~20 before I start playing again.
>Was HoT the expansion you wanted, or was it a disappointment?
Some of the stuff looks cool, I don't care about the living world updates though so I imagine I'll burn through the new content fairly quickly and run out of fun things to do and quit again.

You have to go back.

The only way it will die is if the second expansion is a massive disappointment and they somehow manage to repeat the mistakes they did with the first one.

No way that place is filled with way too many goddamn furries and...strange people like nowhere else. The ones obsessed with Asura super hard remind me of the same guys obsessed with mindflayers.

Reminds me of the people who obsessed over Ellens. They are all furry pedos.

>For how long you've been playing?
Since the Beta. I'm running into the same problems I had in GW1. I can't break into endgame content and I never managed to get my guild off the ground, but I'm too proud to give it up.
>Do you feel the game is getting stale and dead again?
A bit, Living world S3 is helping a bit, but the new formula already feels stale and I don't really like the direction the story seems to be going. Also, I haven't heard any news of another expansion, so I doubt there's any way this can actually go anywhere.
>Was HoT the expansion you wanted, or was it a disappointment?
A little of both. I found HoT very difficult to get into. You need so many new skills to move freely around the maps and it's fun once you get them, but the game doles them out at a snail's pace. Also it's much less solo-able than previous content, so if you get into a low-population map you're basically fucked. I also wish the maps were a little more balanced in terms of rewards. Tarir is so good that nobody bothers doing the other maps meta events.

At least Tarir was fun when it was GOOD JOB GUYS WE WON!!!

Now it's become THE GROUPS MUST BE ORGANIZED RIGHT FOR MAP-HOPPING MULTILOOT REEEEEEEEE

I played it for a few months after release. I was hyped as fuck for it, cause GW1 is probably my favourite game of all time. Then disappointment hit me hard. Not everything it did was bad, but a few main points such as the skill system, PvP in general (no fking GvG and no HA) and the main enemies in PvE being fucking zombies, when they had a shitload of original designs to choose from really made me confused on how a game can be developed so wrongly.

I have been playing lots until I finally got my legendary kudzu bow. After that I played a couple of hours and it dawned to me how bad the game is. Nothing is fun and everything starts to feel like a chore. All the updates never had any substance. Its kind of sad as the foundation of GW2 is good and it had much potential. When it all comes down to a grind, all combat is about dodge timing, and the community consists of 85% out of autogyneofyliac men, it is time to move on. Still, I had good times the first months after launch. IT was a good waste of time to explore all maps, but after that you are stuck doing endless fractal runs, spvp, or zvzvz which all bore fast. The game just never really progressed, the devs seemed clueless, the playerbase dwindled. Now the game is just like all other MMOs except for some pointless gimmicks.

>They've gone so fucking jew mode with Gemstore it's like that's all they bother with now.

I can't believe Anet had the balls to claim that they don't add new armor sets to living world updates because it takes them nine months to make each set, when they've been shitting out two or three sets into the gemstore every couple weeks for the last two years.

>shitting out two or three sets into the gemstore every couple weeks for the last two years.
Except they don't even do that right. It's mostly shitty "Outfits" since we can't even be trusted to mix-and-match armor sets.

> the community consists of 85% out of autogyneofyliac men
explain

What? You never realized that all those lovely pixel girls in MMO games are played by men? Surely you jest?

How is that autogynephilia? Sounds like your age-old "Men like staring at breasts" that's always been in vidya.

>all combat is about dodge timing
And yet 90% of players can't even do that right. If it requires anything more complicated than zerging, stacking, and mashing buttons most players just fail outright. It's been almost a year since they redesigned the shatterer and I still see people fail it all the time because they can't comprehend that standing still and mashing 1 doesn't cut it any more.

The number of retards I run into that can't figure out how to deal with a defiance bar is staggering.

Not only that, but look how fast they can shit out 16 entire new 'Frostforged' weapon skins just in time for Christmas. Yet can hardly manage more than a single decent set that isn't a copy and paste off an existing NPC's exclusive gear

It's not the kind of salad I want to toss user

>there are people who seriously play GW2 for the gameplay

The game was dead on arrival with it's retarded level and stat scaling system. You can easily dumpster a guy in pvp who is more skilled than you, with two level 10 characters that only wear white items. The whole game is based on cucks buying into the whole idea of "everyone has the same stick and stone, except some people play the game for 10k hours to make them look more fancier"

As if that would be the problem.
Stat equality in PvP was really great in GW1, and it all came down to skill. It's just that the fighting system they went for sucks major dick compared to the old approach.

As shit GW2 was, I really enjoyed leveling a Ranger back when it launched. Never got further than 40-ish because it felt weird as fuck not having the level cap at 20 like in GW1.

It all went downhill cause anet took the memes too serious. People were laughing at Guild Wars for having levels capped at 20. Just as they were making fun of Guild Wars cause you couldn't jump in it.
They flocked to these people not realizing that this, together with other aspects, made the game unique and interesting. GW2 was just a generic pile of rubbish.

I still enjoy the game, but I have to admit that I often log in and can't figure out anything to do.

For now I'm just waiting for the legendary armor to come out, and doing fractal 100 challenge mode every day for fun.

Does it have actual guild wars yet?

Pvp is great. The best in any mmorpgs by far. You faggots can say what you want. Once you get the hang of every class it feels really challenging.

Besides pvp...the raids, the new fractal and the HoT maps are great. Besides that i don't like the very new maps. The events there are to vanilla. And vanilla gw2 is bad.

The writing maybe sjw but it's no way as bad as vanilla.

Pre-ordered GW2 (first mistake), made a necro but got steadily more frustrated when it was obvious their balancer was obsessed with warriors and pvp so just let necros to rot in pve with the never-ending zerk meta which necros cannot participate in
Then when they announced that the base game would be free with HoT that just cemented their past behaviour with the gem store of giving people the middle finger with one hand while asking for yet more cash with the other.

Fuck 'em, I hope they and NCSoft fold. They're an awful company

Yap. I have a different opinion about this game but i feel the same about those people. They are probably the reason why this game has so many flaws. However Josh Foreman, the artists, the sound designer and some other developers make it up for it.
